Connor the rabbit had always wanted to 

travel, but he had never left his city before. 

Since he grew up in a small family and had 

lived in the same place his whole life, he was 

not sure that he would be comfortable if he 

was around animals who were not like himself 

and who did not live like he did.

But one day, he decided that he would finally 

go out and see the world, so he said goodbye 

to his family and went on his way. 

Connor went to Mexico first. There, he met Lucia the 

armadillo. He learned about Mexican culture from 

her.

"Mexico is a lot different than the United States," 

said Lucia. "We speak Spanish, we like to eat 

different foods like tortilla and cactus plant meat, 

and instead of Halloween, we celebrate El Dia de Los 

Muertos - or "The Day of the Dead" in English."

That day, Lucia showed Connor around her town, 

took him to the local street market, where he bought 

and tried many new foods. She also took him to a 

see soccer game! 

The next morning, he thanked Lucia for showing him 

her home, took some tortilla for the road, and went 

on his way.

The next place Connor visited was Colombia, a 

Spanish-speaking country in South America. There he 

met Jose the sloth. After his experience in Mexico, 

Connor was very excited to learn all about the 

Colombian culture. 

They spent a lot of time visiting national parks, since 

that is where Jose lives. "It is very nice here in the 

parks; the scenery is pretty and there are many 

animals to make friends with," Jose told him. 

Connor arrived just in time for the Barranquilla, a four 

day carnival, and he and Jose went to check things out. 

This event is full of parades, music, and dancing. He 

got to see the brightly-colored traditional clothes and 

energetic dancing style of Colombia. 

Once again, after time well spent, he said goodbye to 

his new friend and went on his way. 

The next stop on Connor's list was Kenya, a country in 

Africa when they speak Swahili. There, he met an 

amazing lion couple, Simba and Nala! 

They brought him on a safari to see the rest of their 

pride, which is what lions call their family. He also saw 

his first elephant; he was afraid of them at first 

because of their size and sharp tucks, but the lions told 

him they were nice. 

They also took Connor to see the Maasai people, one of 

the biggest tribes in Africa, who span from Kenya to 

Tanzania. He also watched their rituals, music and 

famous dances, which are quite different from what he 

is used to back in his city. He loved it though!

After Simba and Nala showed Connor all that they 

could, he said goodbye to his new friends and went on 

his way.
